Ariana Grande’s new album could be out sooner than we thought. The 25-year-old pop star hinted on Monday that the follow-up to 2018’s Sweetener is due for release in February during her brief Q&A session with fans on Twitter.

After one fan asked Grande to share some info about the upcoming tour and album, the singer happily obliged writing: “Ok i love u hello what would u like to know.”

Ariana Grande then proceeded on to answer several questions about her new record, revealing that the pre-orders will begin on Friday when the cover, tracklist and the title will be unveiled as well. She also shared that there won’t be any features on the release and that “7 Rings” will be its final single.

One fan then wrote: “Hopefully it releases feb so its the best birthday gift,” which Grande followed with a “hbd” (happy birthday) note. Another fan got in the conversation with a tweet: “is it feb the 8th !!!!!!!! that’s my 21st sis” on which “Thank U, Next” singer responded: “how convenient” and left little doubt about the timeline.

Grande finished the session with a message: “two albums in six months huh. that’s deep. love u. talk sooon.”
